Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Boxe-Sexton Show Podcast.

What happened? But there were concessions made and the 20 or so rebels in the house got some changes and promises.

The Kevin McCarthy has as speaker come out swinging to be fair.

The house has taken votes on abolishing federal income taxes looking at weaponization of government,

looking at and holding China accountable for its abuses, defunding the World Health Organization.

I didn't even see that one. I'm just looking to list of this here and looking more closely at the Biden crime family.

So especially the IRS, I can't believe there weren't more people who were truly terrified at the notion of 70,000 additional IRS agents

because when they tell you that they're just going after rich people, they are lying to you.

You can look at the data, you can look at the truth, they are lying to you. You know who they're going after?

People who make 50 to 250,000 dollars a year who they can squeeze and exit because there are a lot more of those people.

And they can squeeze an extra five or ten grand out of you because you don't want to pay for lawyers, you don't have accountants, you don't have a team of people, etc.

That's what the data shows, they actually go after people who are much less able to fight it and therefore more likely to write a check of additional money to the Treasury.

But Clay, I bring up the situation of the house and where we are right now because we're in for another showdown, throwdown, however you want to put it of sorts right now because we're going to have a debt ceiling

moment on Thursday, we will be reaching the debt ceiling.

I want to know that Biden yesterday said this about Republicans, it's MLK Day and Biden's giving a speech and here's how he refers to the Republicans in Congress.

Play one.

Can I talk about big spend in Democrats again? Guess what? I reduced the deficit last year, $350 billion.

And this year, federal deficit is down $1 trillion plus dollars. Hear me, that's a fact.

And I was going to be hundreds of billions reduced over the next decade. But so these guys are the fiscally, you know, the fiscally demented, I think. They don't quite get it.

I mean, first of all, Biden comparing debt reduction to COVID when we're spending trillions of dollars in emergency funding after an artificial government shutdown of the economy or sectors of the economy is just the most dishonest thing

in general about this. We're looking at a house of representatives play with a Republican majority that may fight over this issue a little bit in advance of Thursday.

We'll see, I would just note for everybody, he says Republicans are demented. If you look at a chart of total public debt, you look at where we are as a country.
